Haruna Kurosawa saw Hannah Sharpe off to go free Mamoru Chiba from the clutches of the Dark Kingdom and Haruna is tanking the office work. She has a company laptop and is typing hurried at it on a table in Frozen Beach Ice Cream, and she's having to have a CONFERENCE CHAT with an evil dark denizen of Nightmare Div---no wait it's just Bunbee.
H.Kurosawa: Bunbee! :D.
Bunbee: Oh noooo. No. No.
H.Kurosawa: Hiiii Bunbee! How's Desperia!? Tell her I said Hi! Um! Here's the paperwork! (File Transfer sent.)
Bunbee: No thanks, I like not being thrown through windows. (File Recieved) I'm out. *Bunbee has signed out. Quickly.*
"Awww." goes Haruna as she spoons another mouthful of Ice Cream into her mouth as Corvus seems to be filling out some actual paperwork with a pen.
"Maybe I outta take a break. Maybe Hannah's done...." she pulls out her phone and checks it. Nope Nothing yet. Nrg.
Minoke Sato rolls into the ice cream shop. She doesn't have any too often and was here for a small sundae. She heads towards the counter then sees a seagull with a pen. That could only be one thing. Haruna. She runs in that direction. "Hey Haruna," she states softly, sighing. "Glad that awful Valentine day is over. Worst holiday ever."
Haruna Kurosawa tap tap tap budgetary something something it's just math, that's what spreadsheets are for!
She looks up and 'huhs'. "OH! Minoke-chan~ Hi!" she says. She places Corvus down in front of the Laptop and pats his head and lets him take over for a bit as she moves in front of her ice cream bowl to take said break.
"Why was it awful? Did no one else give you any chocolate?" she asks, tilting her head a little. "No boys wanting chocolate from you?" she asks with a short smile.
"It can't be that bad, can it?" she asks curiously.
Minoke Sato shrugs. "First some brat monster was stealing chocolates from anyone - but few boys are interested in one like me. A 'cripple', as one boy two years ago rudely reminded me of," she mutters. "I've humbuged the whole sorry mess every since." She sighs.
Haruna Kurosawa frowns. "I don't think that's a failing of boys in general Minoke, some people don't understand... and sometimes they do, but they stink at talking about it." she says softly. She looks around. "So--- any romance chocolate from any girls then?~" she asks teasingly however, getting some good natured teasing. "Hehe~" she says. "Still. Like I said. I'm sure there's decent boys out there." she says softly. She eats a spoonful of ice cream.
"Are you intrested in any one? Maybe I can help! I seem to be good at matchmaking!" she grins with a glint and sparkle in her eye.
Minoke Sato sighs. "I got nothing. Until all this magic stuff happened, I was a rather lonely person. I still am, for the most part..." She sighs.
Haruna Kurosawa pouts a little as she leans and rests her head against Minoke's shoulder. "Awwwww. Minoke-chan! You have friends! I'm a friend! Miss Blue seems to be your friend!" she beams. "Corvus is your friend! But he's busy working right now." she nods matter of factly.
"I know what it's like to feel alone. I know it sucks. It sucks a lot- to be surrounded by all these people but you still feel alone." she says he sighs and leans back up.
"Back when I thought my sister was dead... I sequestered myself away. I refused to talk to anyone... I ignored everyone. I got really aquainted with the entirely of the floor of Infinity because keeping my head down was easier than looking up and forward." she says softly.
"It sucks.. right?" she says. "Well-- don't let yourself fall into that state Minoke-chan! It's really important. That kind of mental state... expcially for us magical girls, it's dangerous." she says softly.
Minoke Sato nods. "I know.... just once Valentine Day blows over into the next holiday, I'll feel better. I just felt like a paraiah yesterday - as usaul."
Haruna Kurosawa frowns and crosses her arms. "Hey now... you should never feel like that for telling us your true feelings..." she says softly. "If you're hurting... we need to know, because-- if you're not okay- how can we help you Minoke-chan!~" she beams.
She gets out her phone and turns it and begins tapping at it:
Gull-Chan: Hannah-Chan, you better not be dead! >:(! Is it over...? What's the word-bird!~
She looks back up and smiles wide.
"So let's talk teasy!~" she says. "Do you like boys or girls, Minoke? Do you like older or younger people than yourself?" she asks, leaning forward teasingly.
"Come on, spill the beans~" she teases.
Minoke Sato shrugs. "I broke my back when I was 10. I honestly don't know. After that - that kind of thing just never came up. I mean, I tried asking a boy out two years ago and he told me he didn't want to be associated iwth a cripple. After that I gave up." She shrugs. "I don't think I'll ever have someone secial while I'm stuck in the chair."
Haruna Kurosawa gets a text back she looks down at it, her eyes light and upp and she 'EEEEEES!' loudly. Tap tap tap!
Hannah-Chan: We won. WE WON! It's really him!
Hannah-Chan: *picture of Moon hugging a very beaten down Mamoru.*
Gull-Chan: Eeeeeee! Me and you are gonna go smother him to death soon then I hope, Hannah-chan! I still need to shove Aki in his face and be like. 'HERE'S MY SISTER!' ;_;.
Hannah-Chan: Damn right! Ok, I gotta see to him. I love you! I love moon! oh God!
She squeeees and then looks up and blushes. "Ah--s--sorry! Just. Good news! My friend-- um. Tuxedo Kamen? He's okay! He was brainwashed by.. by bad people. He seems free now..."
She sniffs.
"Well. Minoke, there's a bunch of awesome guys AND girls in Virtue. People in Virtue don't care about stuff like.. if you're in a wheel-chair or--- if you can or can't see or---" she blushes. "I mean. I love Hannah-chan to death, and she can't even see my face, technically!"
She sighs and gives Minoke a hug. "If you need help approaching someone you find intrest in... you let me know, okay!? Anyone at all! I don't judge!" she beams.
Minoke Sato nods. "Well - good that we got a friend back. Hey - I think I heard Moon say something about him. That she's more of a purification healer and he's more of a physical healer or something. Maybe I misrmemebered - from Walnut's wake or smoething. Honestly, I don't know what kind of person I like. It just didn't seem very important..."
Haruna Kurosawa smiles. "You should explore then Minoke. If you don't find yourself romantically intrested in anyone, that's fine too, but-- if you like someone, reach for the sky!" she beams. "Even if someone is a jerk, it could be that they don't know how to handle it. Sometimes.. sometimes people are afraid of themselves or saying the wrong thing so they spout out the wrong thing."
"Just don't become like me and fall in love with the badguys!~" she winks. "But.. that's a little different." she smarily smiles.
Minoke Sato shrugs. "Honestly - there might be someone but I'd rather keep it to myself for now - so in case it never materializes, nothing will change, y'know?" she asks as she sighs. "But I'm not sure if we have that kind of relationship...."
Haruna Kurosawa leans forward. "Tell me. I'll keep it secret. And-- even if nothing comes from it- you /should/ let this person know your true feelings, Minoke-chan. Even if it's destined for failure. Lord knows I spilled my heart out to /Riventon/." she laughs a bit with a blush.
"But he's still a friend, you know? In the end, that's what's important too." she smiles and offers a hand.
"So tell me, okay? At worst, maybe I can test the waters for you slyly~" she grins.
Corvus tsks. "Up to mischieffff~" he sings out as he types on the laptop.
Minoke Sato murmurs, "Fine. But you can't say ANYTHING yet, ok?" she murmurs. "Miss Blue - she took me under her wing. She's so strong - so cool... but... I'm not sure what I feel for her but I like to spend as much time iwth her as possible..."
Haruna Kurosawa ohs! and her eyes lightly up. "She's a nice person Minoke! Of course-- she's also, intrested in that catboy. But--. That catboy is being a jerk to her, too." she says. "..and I think he's going to mess it up for himself!" She nods. "I won't tell her. I promise~" she says.
"--but-- at the same time. You should let her know your true feelings in the near future. But I won't push the issue Minoke." she smiles.
"If you need help with that, you let me know, okay? I know Miss Blue! She's my co-worker! I can ask her stuff by the water cooler for you, even~" she beams.
Corvus says. "Don't worry, if she talks to Miss Blue about it, I'll rat her out to you and you can sock her in the jaw!~" he teases again.
She huffs. "Why I never!" she insists, eyes closed a moment.
Minoke Sato smiles. "Thank you, Corvus. I wish Vortex was more talkative." "I speak when needed." She looks down at her choker. "Oh." She shrugs. "But yes, I'll talk to her soon about it, I promise..."
Haruna Kurosawa huffs and peeks one eye open. "Yes, please do Minoke. Tell her what you feel. Just be honest. Worst is- you become closer friends! Best case- Well, double dates with Hannah and me!" she beams. "It'd be fun, wouldn't it? I keep trying to find someone to double date with but it stinks and Katsu-chan and Suzu-chan are always so busy with one another." she crosses her arms and hrmphs!
"I got those two together too!" she beams. "They're really cute and adorable together." she says.
"I think you and Miss Blue would be cute together too~" she winks. Oh yes, she's shipping this now. This is in her mindseye now.
Minoke Sato hmmmmmmmms. "I don't think I've met them. But I don't know what I feel for Mikoto but..." She sighs softly. "I just want to be around her a lot. Part ofi t is that she understands Vortex in a way that I don't..."
Haruna Kurosawa smiles. "I know that feeling. I feel that way about Hannah. I swear that I am the worst clingy girlfriend ever!" she insists. "..but she likes having me over and I cook for her too-- and she likes being close to people- when you're blind- you touch a lot." she nods. "Mikoto-chan..." since she's using Mikoto now. "Knows a lot about Intelligent Devices." she smiles. "I don't know that much about them. I know very little. But I know they're like partners." she beams.
"But.. hrm..." she taps her chin. "Just take it easy. Okay?" she smiles wide. "I find, taking a deep breath helps when you have anxiety about something." she says.
Minoke Sato smiles. "Yes. Vortex isn't as talkative as Corvus is - but she is very loyal in her own way. She has memory damage though - we're working on trying to fix her. I found this weird spell that puts a magical tag on a place. But... I don't know what it's for."
Haruna Kurosawa softly pushes her bowl of melted ice cream leavings away as she sits back and closes her eyes. "A tag, huh? Well. If it's tagging something then there's gotta be something to target. Maybe it helps people aim at it better? A lot of these devices seem like they have 'military' uses and I know most of them do come from some sort of.. multidimensional police force." she says.
"Or maybe something can't hide if it's tagged? It's a mystery!" she giggles.
"I can't teleport. I /can/ move really fast though if my wings are open when I'm a Cure~" she beams. "It's not instant but I can get from here to outside of the city limits in like ten seconds- I just look like a beam of seafoam green light!~" she says.
She sighs and leans forward. "I wonder if Kami-sama could help with your legs..." she muses. "Probably not. He's not really a healer. He's like 'Moon'-- spirtual healing stuff." she says. "But he's also a god deity so for all I know he juggles stars in his sleep." she shrugs.
Minoke Sato shrugs. "I'd be willing to meet with anyone - just let me know when and where and I'll be there..." She smiles faintly.
Haruna Kurosawa looks back to Corvus expectantly. "Haruna, you're up. Conference call." he says. She sighs and takes a deep breath. "I'm sorry Minoke, I have to do this last thing for the day then I'm going to go smother my unbrainedwashed friend tommrow until he probably dies again from suffocation!" she beams.
"But... Kami-Sami--- 'Blue'? He's a good guy. If he can help, I'll have him meet with you, okay?" she asks with a smile.
She then begins to slide back in front of her laptop and plugs in a webcam.
"Are you gonna be okay?" she asks to Minoke one last time.
Minoke Sato nods. "I'll be fine. I just have to t hink about how I'll ask her about it..." she muses.
Haruna Kurosawa smiles. "if you need help, let me know~" she says. And then she gives Minoke a polite wave off as she turns to the Webcam~ She begins talking about boring bussiness things.
